Hier eine Stimme von Jemandem, der die Naturgesetze sehr gut versteht, der
zudem ein glänzender Bahnanalytiker ist (...nicht nur für Meteore/Asteroiden,
sondern auch für künstliche Erdsatelliten, nur als weiteres Beispiel!) und der
schon bei manchen Meteoritenfällen den Suchteams einen zielrichtigen Weg
gewiesen hat: Robert Matson, heute im US-Forum --->
"Hi All,
Each time a pair of falls occurs at roughly the same geographic
location on approximately the same calendar date (in different
years), I suppose it is only human nature to try to assign some
cause to the synchronicity. But fall location duplication can
be quickly dismissed as random chance, since there is no
connection between earth-crossing asteroid orbital periods
and earth's rotational period.
However, date-synchronized falls ~is~ a possibility. Dr. Rubin
and I wrote a paper on this subject which appeared in the
journal _Earth, Moon and Planets_ in April 2008:

Our conclusion was that due to the tiny fraction of meteorite
falls that are successfully recovered each year, and the
comparatively short dynamical lifetime of a meteoroid stream
(10^4 to 10^5 a), the probability of successful recovery of two
falls from the same stream are extremely small.
